Windows NT to XP now low Disk Space

[taranbuckley]

I have started a new company. I have installed XP to new systems
before but never worked with NT. We have several PCs that had Windows
NT on it, then was uprgraded to Windows XP (before my time). Users are
complaining that they are now gettinga low disk space error. The
computers all have 3 drives in them two of which have lots of space.

How can I get Windows to use all the drives?

Thanks

1. Remove all viruses and spyware
2. Save user files (documents, spreadsheets, etc.) to another drive. You
can move the entire My Documents folder to another drive, if you like.
3. Run the Disk Cleanup Wizard.
4. If your users are still running out of space on the system drive then
it's time for a larger hard disk. HDDs were much smaller in the NT era.

Please note that Windows does not automatically move on to a second hard
disk when the first hard disk is filled.

Is there any way to make it move to a second hard disk?

The updates are what is killing the machine.

The system software can only reside on a single partition. See #4 below.
